DeMarcus Cousins? {merged}

[Mythrol]

I won't lie. I can't believe we got him without giving up the 2019 1st as well. I would have still done that trade but I would have been apprehensive due to Cousins contract situation.

For what we got him for, that's insane. I love Buddy, he's awesome and I wish him nothing but the absolute best. But. . .

Buddy, Tyreke, Gallo, 2017 1st (top 3 protected), and 2017 Philly 2nd.

Are you freaking serious? Robbery.

Then the Kings are going to waive Galloway at that? Really? So basically, Buddy, a 1st, and a 2nd for Cousins. I don't even understand the Kings. . .

Exhausted after soccer...
Long day tomorrow getting five kids ready for school and then working 12 hours.....and now I can't sleep. Lol

But so worth it. Man I am thrilled.

What.

he made a funny. should stick to making mayonaise, lol

[nolaslim213]

Please no Josh Smith. We just need shooter wings. 3-and-D players!

[wuggie]

We got Boogie? OMGerd.

Josh Smith believes he's a 3 and D player. However, he sucks at it! lol

[DroopyDawg]

The Josh Smith trade tweet was a joke guys.

[Mythrol]

Biggest question with this trade is...are we able to re-sign?

If not, we essentially just burned 2 first round picks and a second for a rental....and maybe an 8th seed.

No. cousins has 1 more year after this one under contract. So we basically have 18 months to convince him to sign.

From Jahlil Okafor to DeMarcus Cousins. Quite the week.

So Boogie just found out he got traded here. Big smile, "I enjoy the city of New Orleans. I love it here in New Orleans."

Ready for the pod casts tomorrow. Hopefully with some insight as to other moves to sure up the 2 spot.

[Blattman]

Really interesting trade. Real star power but tons of question regarding his character and also his ability to play within Gentry's style.

Heal yea! I think him being back in the South in his element in a good team-culture environment is going to be great for him.

Gentry will be replaced by Coach Cal or Van gundy in the off season. We are not built like the Warriors or a D'Antoni team.

I don't know how to take this. Subtle upset or subtle happy?

[hornetstime247]

Unless we pull of some dramatic upset of the warriors in the playoffs.. I can see gentry being let go and coach cal coming in to coach his two Kentucky stars

[Mythrol]

Subtle happy. He was trying to be low key. That smile on his face said it all.

[nolaslim213]

I don't know how to take this. Subtle upset or subtle happy?

I mean, he realized he just lost like $30 million? And that he wasn't wanted anymore. I would expect him to be upset for a few seconds. But then he immediately smiled and proclaimed his love for this city. That's a pretty HUGE win for us.

[HornetGuru]

Wow, only 1 first traded??? We just robbed the kings.

[bahmamamba]

I don't know how to take this. Subtle upset or subtle happy?

Yeah I'm trying to figure out if he was smiling at the start bc he already knew or he found out when guy was whispering in his ear cause he looked caught off guard

[AD23nEG10]

Terrence Jones looking to be moved... could get us a solid backup wing hopefully

[Eman5805]

Wow, only 1 first traded??? We just robbed the kings.

I'm still confused as hell about that.

I mean, yeah, 2017 is a great draft, but that's it?

[luckyman]

Where's that guy who said that he would bet me money that the Pelicans keep their 2017 pick????

I want my cash!!!!!

You got it, but you only get half. Brook Lopez and Danilo Gallinari are a far ****** cry from Demarcus Cousins. I bet the Pelicans are just as shocked the Kings were willing to do that. 2008 Memphis all over again.

If they swap out/trade the 2018 1st, i'll consider the other half.

And if that emotional man boy decides not to resign here this summer, welcome to the Brooklyn Nets 2.0.

my favorite part...

Manager to Media: "All-Star Game questions first for DeMarcus Cousins."

Boogie: "What other kind of questions would there be?"

Manager: *leans in to Cousins and whispers trade news*

[HornetGuru]

So we now have the best center and power forward in the nba...
